Hi Elaine,
I have noticed that the "Distances" window does not update new distances as I create them, so I have to keep closing and re-opening the window from the Tools menu. This wasn't a problem in the old Chimera.
best,
Antón

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for your help! I got it to work right, I think that the problem was due to the fact that there were two symmetry-related assemblies in the structure I used and I was selecting the same chain in both assemblies.

Hi Antón, ChimeraX menu "Actions... View" is meant to be the same as Chimera's Focus, and as far as I know "Actions... Set Pivot" should also be the same: change center of rotation to a fixed point that is the center of the selected items (if there is a selection).
Actions menu: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/menu.html#actions
There might be slight differences of how the pivot center is calculated, but I wouldn't expect it to be noticeable. Can you say more about why you think it is different?
I hope this helps, Elaine

Hello, I have used the old Chimera quite a bit and I'm trying to get used to ChimeraX. There are a couple of tools that I found very useful in the old chimera: "focus" and "set pivot". Both were under the "Actions" menu and, with large structures like the ribosome, these two tools allowed me to quickly inspect any residues that were selected with any other tools. "Focus" is not there anymore and while "set pivot" is, it doesn´t seem to work as it used to. I wonder if these tools, in their old flavors, are still available in ChimeraX. best, Antón
